** Congrats to Dr. Billie Lindsey, 1998 HEDIR Award Winner
As a graduate student at the Rollins School of Public Health, I am very
excited to announce the completion of the Health-related Web Site
Evaluation Instrument.
Currently, many evaluation tools can be found on the Internet, but they
lack a mode of scoring. While the tools can be used as a checklist, the
credibility of the web site is still relatively unknown. Consequently, I
developed an evaluation instrument with a measurable scale. The
instrument criteria selected for evaluating and scoring web pages
include content, accuracy, authorship, currency, audience, navigation,
links, and structure.
The instrument was pilot tested using a non-probability, convenience
sample. Feedback information was used to revise the instrument. The
instrument was found to be reliable using the alpha coefficient (score
of .89).
This evaluation instrument can be accessed at
http://www.sph.emory.edu/WELLNESS/abstract.html
With the increasing amount of health information on the Internet, it is
extremely important that health professionals help guide their patients
and clients to web sites that are credible. I hope that this instrument
will be of use to you and your colleagues. As a thesis project, this
instrument is in its final form. However, as a health educator, I
welcome any feedback.
Sincerely,
Leslie Teach

Regarding the request for info about long distance methods classes, I may
be close-minded, but I hope there aren't any out there.
I think this is a good issue for Health Educators to discuss on the HEDIR,
and share with administrators who may not understand how important

Actually, I teach a theory and methods class over interactive television,
and I think it works out great. I may have even more contact with the
"distant" students than with the ones right here!! It takes a lot of work,
but the classes are very interactive, the students work on small group
projects every week, they e-mail me VERY often with good questions and
insights, and they complete a class project and present it to all of us--so
they also learn how to present to a distant audience. They were a little
shy at first, but now, I can't stop them from interacting A LOT over the
airwaves.
Don't be too quick to dismiss this technology--it may save the day for
folks "out in the boonies" who can't get into the city to attend classes.

Dear Hedirs:
Sacramento State University Dept of Education in Sacramento Calif offers
a methodology course in integrating health across the curriculum (K-12.)
in a distance format over cable t.v.,although students are required to
attend at least 2-3 sessions in person. This particular course is state
mandated and must be taken by any individual obtaining a clear teaching
credential in the State of Calif. It is the only institution that I know
of within the state which delivers it in a distance format-this is I
believe to be only the second year the course has been available in this
format. Perhaps a sign of things to come?!

Sign of things to come?
In California, the Commission on Teaching Credentialing has recommended
the elimination of the state mandated health education course that ALL
teachers must take to obtain a clear teaching credential. And yesterday,
at an Assembly Education Committee hearing, a bill to require a semester
of health education for graduation from high school did not receive
enough votes to get out of committee! Both the California Health
Framework and the Institute of Medicine's 1997 report, "Schools and
Health: Our Nations Investment," call for a semester to a year course
taught by qualified instructors. Over 50% of secondary school districts
in California already require a semester of health education.
The arguments we heard against health education had nothing to do with
need or merit, but rather the course would add another requirement that
conflicts with a students' ability to get all of the classes they need
for entrance to the UC system. Local control was the other issue. Much
of the content of a health education course is already mandated in the
state Education Code.
This is a glimpse of what is happening in California.... Food for
thought maybe.

I'm saddened to hear of the California decision as this only adds more fuel
for negative decision making in other States. Quality districts will
continue to offer meaningful health programs, but one might argue that's not
where they're needed most.
On another issue I would like to get some feedback from the hedir on an
experience that I can't believe really happened. A neighbor of mine asked
me about the effects of the beverage Surge, as it seems the local school
district gave it to third graders prior to taking Statewide exams. I've
seen some obseessive behavior over these exams, but this one really got to
me. It seems they wanted students more alert for the exam. What do you think?

I'm pleased to announce that brochures describing our workshops and cruises
are ready to mail out! Who out there would like to come cruise with me
(Larry Schneider, MPH) and my wife (Paula Schneider, RN) this summer?
We'll be going to the Bahamas, the Western Caribbean, and Alaska.
During the longer (Western Caribbean and Alaska) cruises, nurses will get
both of the following workshop offerings for a total of 14 CEUs. On the
shorter Bahamas cruise, nurses will receive 7 CEUs for a choice of only one
workshop:
Transforming Your Self, Transforming Your Workplace for Health
Professionals--a fun and interactive workshop about how to brighten up your
feelings about yourself and your work space, how to introduce change
effectively and create new habits, and how to APPRECIATE yourselves as the
wonderful caregivers you are! I do this workshop. I truly love this
workshop because of its positive message and light hearted approach to
learning!
The Path: Creating Your Mission Statement for Work and for Life for Health
Professionals--a quieter, more introspective (but with some discussion and
interaction) workshop in which you will leave with a mission statement that
may have not presented itself to you before and a remembrance of why you
chose nursing as a profession. Paula takes the lead for this one, as the
mission statement work is her PASSION! Her mission is to lead and inspire
herself and others to spiritual and personal health.
We're also doing BOTH workshops (for those who choose not to sail the high
seas) in Atlanta, Asheville, Austin, West Palm Beach, and St. Petersburg.
Interested? Please email me privately at larrysch@polaris.net and I will
send you one of our beautiful and informative (if I do say so myself)
brochures!
If you know of someone who may be interested in the workshops -- seminars
at sea or land based -- please, pass this message along to them.
Thank you very much!

As for more alert (in preparation for an exam), I cannot comment. However, all the hype
surrounding this new
soft-drink suggests that it has the highest caffeine level of all soft drinks (and this is supposed to
be a selling point).
This is not true (see stats below) and many children today are trying to drink it based on the fact
that (and I am just
theorizing) if they can drink a beverage high in caffeine, they are more grown up.
SOFT DRINKS (12 ounces) Mg
Jolt 100.0
Diet Mr. Pibb 58.8
Josta 58.0
Mountain Dew 55.0
Mello Yello 52.8
Surge 51.0
TAB 46.8
Coca-Cola 45.6
Kinda makes sense, given that half of the adult-working-world consumes more coffee than we
care to know. It
seems this local school district got caught up in one of two things (both of them would seem to be
poor choices) 1.
they truly did want the students to be more alert (physically) and thus they gave them the "highest
caffeine content
soft-drink on the market" or they 2. were giving them as incentive to be more alert (a crude
bribe). A highly
nutritious snack, like a piece of fruit, would not hold the same persuasive power to the kids taking
that test.

Just a quick response to the message about supplying Surge beverage to
children. An employee of the regional office of the FDA in MN.
regularly gives a talk to my consumer health course. He has mentioned
Surge (Jolt Cola before that) for a couple of years as a potential
health hazard when taken in large doses, like kids who drink a six
pack. Incidents of over consumption by children and adolescents and
resulting physical effects of stimlation, nervousness, dilated pupils,
inability to concentrate, etc., have been reported to the FDA. If Surge
contained any more caffeine, it would be labeled a drug, like No Doz and
Vivarin. If I was a parent of a child in this district, I'd be calling
my lawyer. Children's health may have been endangered and they should
take a serious look at this. As the parent of a young child, I do not
allow her to consume any caffeine containing beverages. I do, but she
doesn't.
My $.02. Hope to see many of you in Reno.

Jittering colleagues,
Forgive me but stimulant abuse is one of my few "specialty areas"
wherein I feel qualified to speak authoratively. There could be some
merit to giving kids Surge or Coke before testing: Some limited
research in the early '80s showed that test subjects scored higher than
controls in math skills at doses between 150 and 300 mgs. While low
doses may have increased concentration and focus, higher doses lowered
scores (likely) due to loss of concentration. This psychogenic effect
is in part what may enable ADD children to perform better in school on
stimulant drugs than without.
Low doses of caffeine also have ergogenic properties. Good research by
phys. of exercise. guru David Costill (Ball State) showed that low doses
of caffeine increased utilization of free floating fatty acids under
prolonged aerobic exercise conditions. Higher doses however, cause
dehydration through increased uresis which tends to negate any ergogenic
effects. Perhaps you knew that in the early 1970's some Eastern Block
marathoners drank flat Coca-Cola along the route to boost their blood
sugar and fatty acid utilization?
*Shameless and desperate plug: For more on adolescent stimulant abuse
check out Isabel Burk's and my session at AAHPERD on Rohypnol, Ritalin,
and Raves next Thursday! We will also touch on methamphetamines (crank)
and herbal stimulants.
Outahere for some Starbucks,

Friends and Fellows,
I know many of us have been stunned by the Jonesboro shootings this past
week.
Personally, I can not help but appoint a share of culpability to the
contemporary trend of absentee fathers in far too many young men's
lives. I recall the father of one boy remarking in an interview that
although he lives in Minnesota and his son in Arkansas, he "talks with
his son by telephone nearly every week."
Author Fred Barnes had this to say about fathering:
"Fatherhood isn't brain surgery. I say this in defiance of the new
conventional wisdom that being a father is breathtakingly difficult,
that it creates tough dilemmas and that fathers need a strategy for
carrying out their duties. I don't think so. Most men have an instinct
for fatherhood that was triggered the day their first child was born.
They instantly recognized the No. 1 requirement of fatherhood: Being
there."
`Nuff said.

I agree with Andy on the ergogenic effect, however my concern is for the
bigger picture. First is the general concern over a school district or
classroom teacher doing this without contacting parents. Second, and more
important is the fact that as we gain insights into ergogenic aids and their
short term benefits upon performance, we lose track of the long term
implications.
It's one thing for olympic and pro athletes to get caught up in this (i.e.
if you don't use it you can't successfully compete) because of the monetary
incentives. It's another to promote their use among the general population,
let alone kids. Suppose everyone agrees caffeine is great. Now it starts
being hyped for its pereformance benefits (little league, grades, etc) and
kids are downing it like crazy. Suddenly the cart is before the horse and
we wait for the problems before intervening.
Now this may not likely happen in our public schools, but ergogenic aids are
becoming big time issues with lots of young people. Those of you in
Universities ask your coaches about use among their athletes, and hang
around your fitness centers. College students are more into Creatine,
Caffeine and several other nutritional ergogenics then you might realize.

Recently some folks have posted examples of humor to this list. Just finished
teaching about humor in my stress management class and thought most people
could use some encouragement. At the risk of offending someone, the following
is provided from an e-mail Joke of the day service I subscribe to. While not
terribly funny, the post is relevant to some discussion that have occurred on
this list. The web sites referenced may be worth a visit.

********************************************************************
WARNING, CAUTION, DANGER, AND BEWARE!
Gullibility Virus Spreading over the Internet!
********************************************************************
WASHINGTON, D.C.--The Institute for the Investigation of Irregular
Internet Phenomena announced today that many Internet users are
becoming infected by a new virus that causes them to believe without
question every groundless story, legend, and dire warning that shows
up in their In Box or on their browser. The Gullibility Virus, as it
is called, apparently makes people believe and forward copies of
silly hoaxes relating to cookie recipes, E-Mail viruses, taxes on
modems, and get-rich-quick schemes [perhaps conspiracy theories
should be included here].
"These are not just readers of tabloids or people who buy lottery
tickets based on fortune cookie numbers," a spokesman said. "Most are
otherwise normal people, who would laugh at the same stories if told
to them by a stranger on a street corner." However, once these same
people become infected with the Gullibility Virus, they believe
anything they read on the Internet.
"My immunity to tall tales and bizarre claims is all gone," reported
one weeping victim. "I believe every warning message and sick child
story my friend s forward to me, even though most of the messages are
anonymous."
Another victim, now in remission, added, "When I first heard about
Good Times, I just accepted it without question. After all, there
were dozens of other recipients on the mail header, so I thought the
virus must be true." It was a long time, the victim said, before she
could stand up at a Hoaxees Anonymous meeting and state, "My
name is Jane, and I've been hoaxed." Now, however, she is spreading
the word. "Challenge and check whatever you read," she says.
Internet users are urged to examine themselves for symptoms of the
virus, which include the following:
* the willingness to believe improbable stories without thinking
* the urge to forward multiple copies of such stories to others
* a lack of desire to take three minutes to check to see if
a story is true
T. C. is an example of someone recently infected. He told one
reporter, "I read on the Net that the major ingredient in almost all
shampoos makes your hair fall out, so I've stopped using shampoo."
When told about the Gullibility Virus, T. C. said he would stop
reading e-mail, so that he would not become infected.
Anyone with symptoms like these is urged to seek help immediately.
Experts recom mend that at the first feelings of gullibility, Internet
users rush to their fa vorite search engine and look up the item
tempting them to thoughtless credence. Most hoaxes, legends, and
tall tales have been widely discussed and exposed by the Internet
community.
Courses in critical thinking are also widely available, and there is
online help from many sources, including
* Department of Energy Computer Incident Advisory
Capability at
* Symantec Anti Virus Research Center at
* McAfee Associates Virus Hoax List at
* Dr. Solomons Hoax Page at
* The Urban Legends Web Site at
* Urban Legends Reference Pages at
* Datafellows Hoax Warnings at
Those people who are still symptom free can help inoculate
themselves against the Gullibility Virus by reading some good
material on evaluating sources, such as
* Evaluating Internet Research Sources at
* Evaluation of Information Sources at
* Bibliography on Evaluating Internet Resources at
Lastly, as a public service, Internet users can help stamp out the
Gullibility Virus by sending copies of this message to anyone who
forwards them a hoax.
*******************************************************************
Forward this message to all your friends right away! Don't think
about it! This is not a chain letter! This story is true! Don't
check it out! This story is so timely, there is no date o n it!
This story is so important, we're using lots of exclamation points!!!
For every message you forward to some unsuspecting person,
the Home for the Hopelessly Gullible will donate ten cents to
itself. (If you wonder how the Home will k now you are forwarding
these messages all over creation, you're obviously thinking too
much.)

BACKGROUND
In July 1992, over 700 researchers, activists, policy makers, and students
from all continents assembled in Nsukka--a rural town in southeastern
Nigeria--for the first international conference on "Women in Africa and
the African Diaspora: Bridges across Activism and the Academy" (WAAD).
Committed to building bridges across racial, gender, ethnic, class,
locational, national, and disciplinary boundaries, the organizers extended
an invitation to researchers, activists, policy makers, and students
irrespective of gender, race, ethnicity, or national origin. The first
WAAD conference accomplished its goals and put in place forward-looking
strategies for continuing its work. The networking that prevailed at
Nsukka laid the foundation for collaboration between Africa and the
African Diaspora as well as the formation of NGOs--on gender and the
media, and widowhood--in Africa. In addition to the ongoing activist work,
the conference generated a ten-volume proceedings of over 200 original
papers on women in Africa and the African Diaspora. WAAD '92 was also the
impetus for the formation of the Association of African Women Scholars
(AAWS)--a co-sponsor of the second WAAD conference.
Locally and internationally, 1998 provides an appropriate context for the
WAAD conference. The city of Indianapolis plans a year-long series of
events, "Africa Celebration '98," which will showcase the complexity,
diversity, and rich cultures of Africa. Besides being a World Health
Organization (WHO) city, Indianapolis is the site of the world's largest
School of Nursing and a Women's Studies Program (IUPUI) that is strongly
committed to the study of black women in general and women's health and
Africa/African American related issues. Also, 1998 marks the 50th
anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The WAAD
conference will be one of the events organized worldwide to celebrate this
important anniversary and set in motion forward-looking strategies for
promoting universal human rights.
THE CONFERENCE (focus/sub-themes)
At the second WAAD conference, health will be discussed not only as a
physical and medical question but, in a broader sense, as a social issue,
thus allowing participants to debate health issues in their relatedness to
the economy, education, human rights, militarization, cultural practices,
the environment, the arts, ethnic conflicts, refugee problems, etc., in
the context of global interdependence and international politics. The
presentations will include recent trends in morbidity and mortality in
women of African descent, sociocultural factors which impact on the health
of women of African descent, and the impact of changing focus of medical
research. In addition to the focus on the urgent need to facilitate
appropriate medical research for women of African descent, discussions
will also address the ways in which health issues are imagined in the arts
or how dramatic changes in climatic conditions with resultant dislocations
and food shortages, changes in economic and social policies (the welfare
system in the US and the immigration question in Europe, for example) and
the escalation of ethnic politics and armed conflicts on the African
continent impact the health and human rights of women of African descent.
Human rights questions will be discussed in a holistic way by linking
socio-economic rights to civil and political rights.

BACKGROUND
In July 1992, over 700 researchers, activists, policy makers, and students
from all continents assembled in Nsukka--a rural town in southeastern
Nigeria--for the first international conference on "Women in Africa and
the African Diaspora: Bridges across Activism and the Academy" (WAAD).
Committed to building bridges across racial, gender, ethnic, class,
locational, national, and disciplinary boundaries, the organizers extended
an invitation to researchers, activists, policy makers, and students
irrespective of gender, race, ethnicity, or national origin. The first
WAAD conference accomplished its goals and put in place forward-looking
strategies for continuing its work. The networking that prevailed at
Nsukka laid the foundation for collaboration between Africa and the
African Diaspora as well as the formation of NGOs--on gender and the
media, and widowhood--in Africa. In addition to the ongoing activist work,
the conference generated a ten-volume proceedings of over 200 original
papers on women in Africa and the African Diaspora. WAAD '92 was also the
impetus for the formation of the Association of African Women Scholars
(AAWS)--a co-sponsor of the second WAAD conference.
Locally and internationally, 1998 provides an appropriate context for the
WAAD conference. The city of Indianapolis plans a year-long series of
events, "Africa Celebration '98," which will showcase the complexity,
diversity, and rich cultures of Africa. Besides being a World Health
Organization (WHO) city, Indianapolis is the site of the world's largest
School of Nursing and a Women's Studies Program (IUPUI) that is strongly
committed to the study of black women in general and women's health and
Africa/African American related issues. Also, 1998 marks the 50th
anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The WAAD
conference will be one of the events organized worldwide to celebrate this
important anniversary and set in motion forward-looking strategies for
promoting universal human rights.
THE CONFERENCE (focus/sub-themes)
At the second WAAD conference, health will be discussed not only as a
physical and medical question but, in a broader sense, as a social issue,
thus allowing participants to debate health issues in their relatedness to
the economy, education, human rights, militarization, cultural practices,
the environment, the arts, ethnic conflicts, refugee problems, etc., in
the context of global interdependence and international politics. The
presentations will include recent trends in morbidity and mortality in
women of African descent, sociocultural factors which impact on the health
of women of African descent, and the impact of changing focus of medical
research. In addition to the focus on the urgent need to facilitate
appropriate medical research for women of African descent, discussions
will also address the ways in which health issues are imagined in the arts
or how dramatic changes in climatic conditions with resultant dislocations
and food shortages, changes in economic and social policies (the welfare
system in the US and the immigration question in Europe, for example) and
the escalation of ethnic politics and armed conflicts on the African
continent impact the health and human rights of women of African descent.
Human rights questions will be discussed in a holistic way by linking
socio-economic rights to civil and political rights.

Good news: I finally found the time to divide them up into separate

you don't also get substance abuse or environmental health.

From: Barbara Johnson
Subject: High School Health Distance Learning
** Congrats to Dr. Billie Lindsey, 1998 HEDIR Award Winner
I am a secondary school health educator, and teacher union representative.
My district is a large suburban school district in upstate New York. New
York mandates Health Education (one semester) for high school graduation.
This year, some students were taught the required course via our distance
learning network. My concerns: no input from our union or district health
teachers was sought, and one teacher taught students in four district
buildings, and one outside district school. Each room was supervised by a
teacher aide. I am not opposed to use of technology in health ed.-- I use
the internet often with my middle school kids. I do see this as a way for
the district (and neighboring ones) to save money by having one teacher
certified to teach health, rather than one PER BUILDING. I am also
concerned about the appropriateness of this method. Obviously, my union is
concerned about protecting teacher jobs. Other courses being taught are
generally upper-level foreign language, or advanced-placement courses with
low enrollment that could not otherwise be offered due to small class sizes.
This is not the case with the required health class.
Does anyone on the list have any experience with this? I have been asked to
attend a meeting in two weeks to discuss the issues with the district
superintendent, and develop policy for course selection for distance-learning.
Thanks for your help!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - April 9, 1998
Contact: Robert L. Ward, Project Director, ACHA
Phone: ACHA - 410-859-1500
The American College Health Association Selects Five Model Schools for HIV Prevention
Cooperative Agreement (765)
Baltimore, MD - The American College Health Association (ACHA) is pleased to announce
the five institutions selected as model schools for the college students in high-risk
situations project funded under a U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
Cooperative Agreement through the Division of Adolescent and School Health.
The five model schools were selected following an extensive application and review
process. According to project director Robert Ward, there were over 70 interested
institutions and 35 applications submitted. "It was a very competitive process," said
Mr. Ward. "We had an extremely difficult time selecting only five institutions."
The five institutions selected are:
Florida International University (Miami, Florida)
New York University (New York, New York)
Northern Virginia Community College (Annandale, Virginia)
Stanford University (Stanford, California)
University of Southern California (Los Angeles, California)
Each application was reviewed for model characteristics including current prevention
programming, collaboration with campus and community resources, targeting of identified
populations engaging in high-risk behaviors, diversity of outreach and programming, and
institutional support of HIV prevention.
The selected model institutions will now engage in a five-year project to disseminate
effective interventions to other institutions in their respective areas via a
train-the-trainer model. In the first year alone, the model schools will be delivering
training on web-based interventions, campus HIV/AIDS task force development, and social
marketing to other institutions in their areas. The primary target population for this
cooperative agreement will be Men who have Sex with Men (MSM). The project intends to
reach a total of 25-30 diverse institutions over the five year project period.
Additional information on the Cooperative Agreement will appear in upcoming issues of
the ACHA Action newsletter.
Founded in 1920, ACHA is a national nonprofit organization serving and representing the
interests of professionals and students in health and higher education. The association
provides advocacy, education, and services for its members to enhance their ability to
improve the health of all students and the campus community. ACHA members include
institutions of higher education, individual health care providers, and students
dedicated to health promotion on their campus.

** Congrats to Dr. Billie Lindsey, 1998 HEDIR Award Winner
Greetings HEDIR. Having just returned from the AAHE conference in Reno,
I've finally managed to go through all my e-mail. During Reno several
people asked about the amount of HEDIR messages. We have had nearly 900
messages in less than 3.5 months. Some people asked if there was a way to
configure the HEDIR so that messages in YOUR system could automatically be
filtered into a separate mailbox. They get so many messages from HEDIR that
other mail may get "lost" in the deluge. Unfortunately they cannot.
However, I do have a couple of options:
One, ask your computer people for a different e-mail. I know several people
who have two e-mail addresses--one is for professional/personal whereas the
other is for HEDIR only.
Two, one can also digest all HEDIR messages so that you receive one message
a day with all messages. You won't be able to immediately respond to any
inquiries until the next day but it would definately cut down onto your
messages. You can change your configurations to get into a digest format by
reading and following the directions at the following URL:
http://131.230.221.136/information/changes.htm
Third, all HEDIR messages are archived on the HEDIR home page (almost on a
daily basis). The third option would be to drop from HEDIR and look at
those messages on the archived section of the HEDIR home page.
Finally, it always strike me after I go to a conference. In spite of a lot
of various chatter on the HEDIR, the HEDIR has crept into the vocabulary of
the profession. Even if people are not on the HEDIR, there's discussion
about it. As I have stated before, I'm on a lot of other listservs...the
HEDIR is definately the busiest and most professional of all I've been
associated with. That of course can be attributed to you, the subscribers,
on keeping it oneof the best ways for health educators to keep in contact
with others. Good job folks.

However, I do have a couple of options:
One, ask your computer people for a different e-mail. I know several people
who have two e-mail addresses--one is for professional/personal whereas the
other is for HEDIR only.
Two, one can also digest all HEDIR messages so that you receive one message
a day with all messages. You won't be able to immediately respond to any
inquiries until the next day but it would definately cut down onto your
messages. You can change your configurations to get into a digest format by
reading and following the directions at the following URL:
http://131.230.221.136/information/changes.htm
Third, all HEDIR messages are archived on the HEDIR home page (almost on a
daily basis). The third option would be to drop from HEDIR and look at
those messages on the archived section of the HEDIR home page.
Finally, it always strike me after I go to a conference. In spite of a lot
of various chatter on the HEDIR, the HEDIR has crept into the vocabulary of
the profession. Even if people are not on the HEDIR, there's discussion
about it. As I have stated before, I'm on a lot of other listservs...the
HEDIR is definately the busiest and most professional of all I've been
associated with. That of course can be attributed to you, the subscribers,
on keeping it oneof the best ways for health educators to keep in contact
with others. Good job folks.

** Congrats to Dr. Billie Lindsey, 1998 HEDIR Award Winner
It appears that I need to stand corrected. I've gotten several messages
from people saying that Eudora, Netscape, and others do have the capability
of filtering messages into specific mailboxes. Since I'm using Eudora Light
(free to academicians) I don't have that capability...evidentally, Eudora
Pro (the one buys) does have that capability.
If anybody else knows about certain systems that allows messages to be
automatically filtered into a specific mailbox, please let the HEDIR know.

A FRAMEWORK FOR ACTION PLANNING
A program to Develop Health Promotion and Education initiatives
in reproductive health
=====================================================================
=
Today
Ten countries on three continents currently are integrating into their
existing reproductive health initiatives the concepts of an innovative
planning process: The Framework for Action Planning. Argentina,
Bolivia, Canada, Estonia, Kenya, Nicaragua, Nigeria, Romania, and the
United States, including Puerto Rico, are using this approach to
promote collaboration among all the parties involved in their nation=s
reproductive health efforts from policy-makers to families. The
collaborative relationships initiated when people from these countries
met in the U.S. in October 1997 are being maintained through a
listserv. This interactive mechanism enables these countries to share
their experiences in applying the Framework within their local
settings, to create a knowledge base to develop training sessions on
the Framework that will be held at the time of the XVI World
Conference of the International Union for Health Promotion and
Education (IUHPE) in June 1998, and to be ready to assist other
countries as they join in this effort.
Partnerships
The United States Department of Health and Human Services, Health
Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), and Maternal and Child
Health Bureau (MCHB) have formed a partnership with the World Health
Organization=s Division of Reproductive Health, Technical Support and
the IUHPE to support the use of this action-oriented process in
designing and carrying out reproductive health-related promotion and
education initiatives appropriate to individual nations.
The Project
An International Conference on Population and Development was held in
Cairo, Egypt, in September 1994. The ideas exchanged at that meeting,
the commitments made by governments, and the international Plan of
Action that emerged have prompted countries to rethink their
reproductive health initiatives, make changes in their existing
programs, and develop new initiatives to promote and protect the
reproductive health of their populations. This pilot project
capitalizes on the energy from this international exchange and puts
into action a way of retooling current reproductive health initiatives
with no extra program expenditures.
The Framework is based on the premise that advocates for reproductive
health initiatives can use an action-planning process to induce
collaboration among any country=s policy makers and program managers;
health and education personnel;
consumers and their families and peers; and related community
organizations. In order to have an impact on the reproductive health
situation of any population, all these players must become involved.
Jointly, these groups can create priorities
and action plans that will move forward a reproductive health agenda
on national,regional, and local levels.
At a workshop on October 19-22, 1997, representatives from the ten
countries met with representatives of WHO, IUHPE, HRSA, and MCHB to
discuss the Framework and develop a plan for implementing it within
their nations. The purpose of the dialogue among experienced
professionals was first to understand the proposed Framework and then
to jointly improve it by testing it against their combined real-life
experiences. Each participant then designed a plan to carry out the
Framework in their country, to support one another, and to share their
experiences by creating a training program to help other countries use
this tool.
Resource people from the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) and
from various branches of the U.S. Department of Health and Human
Services attended the October meeting. On the final half-day of the
workshop, they were joined by experts from a wide variety of public and
private organizations concerned with reproductive health issues: the
Inter-American Development Bank, the U.S. Agency for International
Development (USAID), the Academy for Educational Development (AED), the
Johns Hopkins University Center for Communications Programs, the
Georgetown University Medical Center, the MacArthur Foundation, and the
Program for Appropriate Technology in Health (PATH). These specialists
gave constructive feedback on plans presented by the countries and
helped participants understand what other organizations and nations are
doing in reproductive health.
The Future
June 18-20, 1998 Workshop will be held in Puerto Rico on applying the
Framework in Reproductive Health. Over the seven-month period between
November 1997 and May 1998, the original pilot countries= members are
developing materials that will be used in the training workshop to be
held at the University of Puerto Rico in San Juan at the time of the
XVI World Conference of IUHPE. In this workshop, lessons learned
during the pilot phase related to the practicalities of applying this
framework and to building and maintaining partnerships both within and
among countries will be shared with other nations interested in
applying this action-planning tool to improve their country=s
reproductive health initiatives. See announcement.
Following the workshop plans include setting up regional networks in
which the October 1997 participants will serve as training focal
points for the Framework in their geographical areas and will offer
technical assistance to others choosing to apply the Framework.
Professional forums may also be held and guidelines developed for
carrying out training courses. In addition, information learned
through country experiences can be shared in publications, including a
special edition of IUHPE=s journal, Promotion & Education.

Subject: "arthritis cure"
** Congrats to Dr. Billie Lindsey, 1998 HEDIR Award Winner
My 80-yr old mother-in-law is excited that her sister (age ~ 70) has
revealed an "arthritis cure." The sister waited many months to talk
about it because she did not want to seem "weird" or "crazy." She could
not keep it secret any longer since it "really worked." Here's the
receipe: Soak one box full of white raisins (separated) in a fifth of
gin for 7 days. Eat 9 raisins per day.
Does anyone know if there is any basis to this? Any danger in trying it?
Note that these are two very conservative Iowan ladies. Neither would
even consider drinking the gin. They are under doctors' care.
Intellectually, they differentiate a cure from pain relief and do not
expect a cure. From a practical standpoint, they don't care about a
cure. And they'd rather be weird than in pain. Any insights will be
appreciated. SS

Subject: Evaluation of Training for Adult Health & Development Program (AHDP)
Directors
** Congrats to Dr. Billie Lindsey, 1998 HEDIR Award Winner
You may recall that there have been several announcements of opportunity
to develop an AHDP on your college or university campus. Training is
supported by a generous grant from the John A. Hartford Foundation.
The 25 year old AHDP at the University of Maryland at College Park
(AHDP/UMCP) was the firstintergenerational health promotion and
rehabilitation program in the country. The AHDP/UMCP is a partially
self-supporting academic course, a medical school elective, and
volunteer program with its own Board of Advisors.
The NNIH is the proliferation of intergenerational health promotion and
rehabilitation programs, that is, AHDPs, throughout the United States.
As a result of grants from the U.S. Department of Education, and the
Disabled American Veterans Charitable Trust, programs were developed at
Arizona State University, Bloomsburg State University, the University of
Delaware, Florida A & M, Nicholls State University, Northern Virginia
Community College, University of California at Long Beach, Coppin State
University, University of South Alabama, and Claflin College. Montgomery
Junior College at Takoma Park (MD),
Noted earlier, a three year grant from the John A. Hartford Foundation
allows for the development of 16 additional sites during 1997-2000.
Universities that sent potential directors for training in March 1998
were Kennesaw State University (GA), Virginia Tech, Towson State
University (MD), Montgomery Junior College (MD), Springfield College
(MA), Lynchburg College (VA), University of Texas Medical School, and
Tuskegee University.
Scheduled to be included during the second wave of training in the fall
1998 are NOVA (FL), San Francisco Community College, Purdue University
(IN), Butler University (IN), Marquette University (WI), Northern State
University (SD), SUNY at Oswego (NY), and Truman College (Chicago).
If your university wishes to be considered for training please let me
know as soon as possible. For more information and a detailed
description of the AHDP/NNIH, see its web page at:
http://www.inform.umd.edu/HLTH/faculty/dleviton
What follows are some of the comments (warts and all) of the directors
attending their recent training workshop in March:
The Adult Health & Development Program
Directors' Training Workshop, Spring 1998
Evaluation
SECTION 1: INTRODUCTION & OVERVIEW OF TRAINING
* Handouts, packets of material very beneficial.
* Overall, well done but I think the training could be reduced and
compacted. Four & a half days was too much.
SECTION 2: PHILOSOPHIES, THEORIES & GOALS
* Hand outs - very generous.
SECTION 3: EMPATHY EXERCISES
* So, so ratings only because this type of training was familiar. I
present this form to students.
* Lots of us have done these - might be good to have those in training
to be Directors suggest the exercises, e.g. arthritis, etc.
* This was so helpful & provided an opportunity to get up & have active
interaction.
* More info needed on medical/health reasons for the disease/illness,
etc.
SECTION 4: ACAEM PARADIGM
* Focus a natural basis/philosophy to `free' staffers. Allows
flexibility to be creative.
SECTION 5: STAFFERS & MEMBERS ROLES
* This was ongoing, it would be good if some new staffers to meet with
us early in the training & `old' staffers toward the end of the
training.
SECTION 8: BOARD OF ADVISORS
* Dan's reference to a Board of Advisors and how important it would be
to have one with the program was extremely helpful!
SECTION 9: EDUCATION, RESEARCH & SERVICES
* This is a strong factor that would motivate me as a director to
implement an AHDP. I can't imagine an administrator refusing any
faculty such an opportunity for growth and development up the career
ladder.
* Good to provide ideas for incentives for non-tenured faculty.
SECTION 10: PHYSICAL FITNESS TESTING & MEMBERS SURVEY & EVALUATION
* Continue to demonstrate this section just the way you demonstrated it
to us. (Hands on; gym) Thanks Dan!
* Good to provide `hands on' activity.
* More safety - warm ups before actual test for non PE Directors. I'm
surprised all your members can get down on the floor & up. Maybe use a
folding chair on top of boy supports about 2-3' high with your mat on
them so they just have to sit & swing legs over.
SECTION 11: THE COACHING MODEL
* This is one session I will always remember. The immediate
feedback/critique that Dan gave the group to emphasize what a coach
should avoid or should do for safety &/or self confidence and esteem was
Superb! Don't change anything in this session Dan. Continue to include
the Directors' active participation.
* Examples & specifics as always good. Good to involve the trainers in
presentations, then critique them. Provides immediate feedback.
* Is each new staffer trained in each activity area on how to coach?
SECTION 12: USE OF THE WHEEL CHAIR
* Since I presented the info, it `forced' he to get into my `mental
reserve' & recall what I had learned years earlier.
* Would be helpful to have tried the activities from a wheel chair to
emphasize better. Do you train new staffers in actual wheel chair
activities?
SECTION 13: HORRENDOUS DEATH
* I'm not sure how this is related to AHDP. I understand the global
implications but the concept seems to place focus on the opposite
continuum of life wellness. Birth - death. Isn't the focus of AHDP on
health & happiness or at least the pursuit of it?
* It would be good to provide each school with a copy of the slides.
They can modify as needed.
* Add some slide pictures as well.
SECTION 14: THE Individual History Form (IHF)
* Great to provide the most recent forms. Provides a chance for
potential Directors to see research potentials.
* Maybe an actual partner practice for just a few questions. More
activity for directors.
SECTION 15: START UP ISSUES
* The open discussion allowing the Directors' group to ask important
questions was extremely helpful. Continue to encourage honest, open
expression of individual concerns as Directors. Some of my concerns was
shared by other Directors. Also, it was helpful to hear each Director
explain how they were planning to start on AHDP on their campus. It
reflected the point of how each AHDP will be specific & individualized
on different campuses.
* Materials related to start-up were presented throughout, as issues
arose, & as related to others segments. Many of my questions were
answered.
SECTION 18: VISIT VA NURSING HOME
* Exposure very important. Seeing members from nursing homes & seeing
challenges was good.
* Great facility. Gave us a chance to meet the individuals who
participate in the program.
* Excellent opportunity! Very useful.
SECTION 19: WORKING WITH MEMBERS WITH A DISABILITY
* Listening to the impact from the parent who has a child with a
disability was very informative. The mother that spoke to us presented
a different view and perspective that no other person could have shared
with the Directors. Thanks for including both the mother and member in
our discussion session! I really would like to have a videotape of this
session!
* Is a site visit possible for this population?
SECTION 20: DISENGAGEMENT
* If possible, please include a disengagement session for the Directors
group. Spending 6 days with faculty colleagues from multi-disciplinary
disciplines led to building brief but significant comradeship. We
needed to disengage also. What do you think?
* Important to discuss this issue.
SECTION 23: WORK WITH MEMBERS IN SIMULATED SESSION
* What was surprising to me about this session is how some of my
stereotyping was dispelled about members especially those from the
community. Such a brief encounter but it showed me what the members
contribute to the program. Their contribution (wisdom, compassion,
knowledge, life history, etc.) Is priceless! Don't change anything
about this session.
* Community members present were extremely positive examples of program
participants. It was a pleasure meeting each of them.
* Everyone learned from this.
* hands on is always better - great members.
SECTION 24: RECORD KEEPING
* Sped up appropriately. Forms/surveys could be improved upon. A lot
of work for so much subjective information.
* I think I still need training in this section. So many forms!
Fundraising! Who, how, when, where is the record keeping to be done?
Additional information and more specific concerns need to be addressed
on record keeping.
* Important to know what data you need for your grant.
* The questionnaires seem very lengthy & repetitions. Maybe there
could be a pairing down.
SECTION 25: QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
* Use of Q/A format throughout workshop very useful.
* Most helpful!
* No holds [ ?? ], no questions went unanswered.
* Always helpful.
* Dan is a superb group facilitator.
SECTION 26: THE AHDP IN ACTION
* The videotape of the AHDP in action was most helpful.
* Great. This gave one an opportunity to see how new staffers &
members interacted - more realistic.
* Excellent!
SECTION 28: STAFF TRAINING SESSION
* The pharmacist [Dr. Feinberg, School of Pharmacy] is an expert! I'm
definitely going to use a similar resource person.
* Excellent!
* Maddie [Dr. Feinberg] is upbeat - good to have an `exciting' person
early in the morning. Suggest that some emphasis be made that drugs or
prescribed for a given person take the amount suggested, over the time
suggested. Don't share meds! Good to distribute medication record
forms.
* Great. What do you do when you don't have a speaker?
SECTION 29: THE AHDP SESSION ITSELF
* Always good to see the program in action.
* Excellent!
SECTION 30: SMALL GROUP MEETING
* I consider it an honor to be a participant and pioneer on my campus
for the NNIH!
* Too bad all the potential Directors didn't stay for this. Probably
should be made a requirement & Saturday might stay over required for
anyone who doesn't drive to the program. Can't leave before the day is
done. A final `dinner-wrap' could help solve this problem. The role
play, per se, didn't work too well discussion of member issues was good.
* You prepared us & your generosity in sharing materials &
encouragement was inspiring.
* Overall this session and the entire workshop provided me with an
excellent overview of the AHDP/UMCP. I picked up many ideas.
* Suggest to condense it - 2-3 days only.
Again, let me know if you are interested in developing this
intergenerational, service learning, health promotion & rehabilitation
program on your campus. The next training will be in October (1 1/2
days) for Administrators, and in November (4 1/2 days) for potential
Directors (must be faculty).

Hi HEDIRs:
Yes, Eudora (Qualcomm), Emailer (Claris), and Pegasus (freeware) all have
mail sorting capabilities. Some are easier to use than others. I use
Eudora. Another nice thing about it is that you can save mail in separate

** Congrats to Dr. Billie Lindsey, 1998 HEDIR Award Winner
You will notice in the recent edition of HE-XTRA a call for AAHE Awards
candidates for the year 2000. As the outgoing Chair of the Awards Committee, I
encourage all AAHE members to take a few minutes and think about those among
us who may be deserving of these awards. This year, we had very few nominees
from which to select our 1999 award recipients. The Awards Committee has vowed
to submit more nominees themselves, but if we could all give this some
thought, there would be a much stronger pool of candidates. The incoming Chair
of this Committee is Al Sofalvi at SUNY Cortland.Deadline for nominations is
October 15, but don't put it off......do it NOW.
Thanks, Renae D. Cunnien, Ph.D.

** Congrats to Dr. Billie Lindsey, 1998 HEDIR Award Winner
Dear Sandra,
i would be interested in how well it is working in 6-12 months. Many of
the causes of arthritis are now known and I predict that the solution to
this chronic problem will never be something one TAKES but something one
DOES.
So long as they are in the "taking phase" they might try glucosamine
sulfate or essential oils (omega 3s & 6s) because they will help for a
while too. So long as their raisin/gin solution is working, why try
anything else? Once they become interested in what they can DO to
resolve their causes, they would find resources (free) at
http://bcn.net/~stoll.
